Suggestion

[edit source]

Hey @Syeda Aiman Ali:, this is a well-developed topic, well done. The only thing that I would note, is that your chapter is quite content-heavy, and contains many paragraphs over 3-5 sentences, if you have a look at the rubric 'here' you will see that is part of the marking criteria. It might be worthwhile to break up some paragraphs into smaller ones, I noticed that when you are describing the theories, you explain the theory, and then apply its relevance. You don't need to do this, you can mention your theory, and then provide a link for more details regarding this topic, then you can use your word count to focus on its relation to the theory as opposed to trying to explain the theory and then the provided its relevance. I hope this makes sense, might be worthwhile chatting with James about this, but this was the advice I was given by him. -3230259.

Heading casing

Hi Syeda Aiman Ali. FYI, the recommended Wikiversity heading style uses sentence casing. For example:

Self-determination theory rather than Self-Determination Theory

Here's an example chapter with correct heading casing: Growth mindset development

Topic development feedback

[edit source]

The topic development submission has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is below, plus see the general feedback page. Please also check the page history for changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Marks are available via UCLearn. Marks are based on the latest version before the due date.

  1. The title and sub-title are correctly worded and formatted
  1. See earlier comment about Heading casing
  2. Overly complicated 3-level structure – consider simplifying
  3. Adopt closer alignment between sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings
  4. Aim for 3 to 6 top-level headings between the Overview and Conclusion, with up to a similar number of sub-headings for large sections
  5. Use default heading formatting (i.e., avoid bold, italics, underline, changing the size etc.)
  6. Avoid having sections with only 1 sub-heading – use 0 or 2+ sub-headings
  7. Usually an "Introduction" section isn't necessary because the Overview should do this job and, if there is additional detail, consider using more more descriptive heading(s)
  8. Check and correct grammar
  1. A scenario or case study is presented in a feature box at the start of this section. Add an image to the scenario to help attract reader interest.
  2. A brief, evocative description of the problem/topic is planned
  3. The description does not refer to any psychological theory or research
  4. The description looks like unacknowledged genAI content; if so, it is a violation of academic integrity
  5. Closer alignment between the sub-title, focus questions, and top-level headings is recommended
  6. The focus questions may be overly specific; consider refining to a simpler set of questions that directly address the sub-title using the best psychological science
  1. Partial development of key points for some sections, with some relevant citations
  2. For sections which include sub-sections, include the key points for an overview paragraph prior to branching into the sub-headings
  3. Strive for an integrated balance of the best psychological theory and research about this topic, with practical examples
  4. It is unclear whether the best available psychological theory and research has been consulted in the preparation of this plan
  5. I recommend using the Studiosity service and/or a service like Grammarly to help improve the quality of written expression such as checking grammatical and spelling errors
  6. Conclusion (the most important section):
    1. Hasn't been developed
  1. One or more relevant figure(s) is/are presented and captioned
  2. The figure caption(s) could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text
  3. Cite each figure at least once in the main text using APA style (e.g., see Figure 1)
  1. One use of in-text interwiki links for the first mention of key terms to relevant Wikipedia articles and/or to other relevant book chapters
  2. Promising use of one or more scenarios/examples/case studies
  3. Consider including more examples/case studies, quiz question(s), table(s) etc.
  1. Are there any systematic reviews about this topic?
  2. Move non-academic / non-peer reviewed sources to External links
  3. All references need to be cited in the text
  4. Only include references which have been accessed and read
  5. Remove citations to UC library links; replace with APA style citations
  6. Check and correct APA referencing style:
    1. capitalisation
    2. italicisation
    3. doi formatting
  7. Remember that the goal is to identify and use the best academic theory and research about this topic
  1. See also
    1. Very good
    2. Use sentence casing

    2. Include source in brackets after link
  1. Basic – minimal, but sufficient
  2. Very brief description about self – consider expanding

Guidance for further enhancement

[edit source]

Hey Syeda! I really like this topic choice. I personally love a good morning routine because it keeps me motivated and happy! I thought I'd give some guidance for potential enhancement for your book chapter.

I like your attention-grabbing scenario, it's very relatable! However, consider including a specific image that represents a calm morning to assist the audience in imagining what a good, healthy morning looks like.

You may also want to expand on the implications of what a poor morning routine can do to mental health and productivity. Here is a helpful link for that: DOI: 10.1111/peps.12419

I really like your section on habit formation especially with regard to the habit loop model, it breaks up behaviours into something that appears manageable which is important for many people! I found a Ted Talk on habit formation, it focuses on starting small and then building up to bigger habits which I think could be useful for you in either this section or as an external link for you chapter. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdKUJxjn-R8

In terms of theoretical application, consider delving into how these theories apply to different personally traits. For example, someone may be more willing to go for a walk in the morning compared to someone who would prefer to watch a tv show due to their differences in determination. I found an interesting study that examines the differences in physical exercise preference based on personality traits. I found it interesting that agreeableness can influence someone's preference for aerobic exercise! This study is important for your study as it places value in personalising behaviour change interventions and how personality can influence motivation. Here is the link: doi: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2019.e01459

I hope this helps! Goodluck with your book chapter! Ashdruett (discusscontribs) 00:26, 2 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I find this topic really interesting! Reading over your book chapter, I was reminded of a book called 'The 5 AM Club' by Robin Sharma, which stresses the power of starting your day early and how it impacts your wellbeing. I thought you might want to consider adding it as an external link :)

  5. For additional feedback, see the following comments and these copyedits
  1. Well developed
  2. Engages reader via a case study or scenario in a feature box with a relevant image
  3. Clearly explains the psychological problem or phenomenon

  7. Excellent use of examples to illustrate theoretical concepts
  1. Very good review of relevant research
  2. More detail about key studies would be ideal
  3. Any systematic reviews or meta-analyses in this area?
  4. In some places, there is insufficient use of academic, peer-reviewed citations (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  5. Basic critical thinking about relevant research is evident
  6. Critical thinking about research could be further evidenced by:
    1. describing the methodology (e.g., sample, measures) in important studies
    2. considering the strength of relationships
    3. acknowledging limitations
    4. pointing out critiques/counterarguments
    5. suggesting specific directions for future research
  7. Some claims lack sufficient citation (e.g., see the [factual?] tags)
  1. Reasonably good integration between theory and research
  2. The chapter places more emphasis on theory than on research; strive for an integrated balance
  1. Excellent summary and conclusion
  2. Clear take-home message(s)
  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the quality of written expression is excellent/very good/good/reasonably good/basic
    2. Use 3rd person perspective (e.g., "it") rather than 1st (e.g., "we") or 2nd person (e.g., "you") perspective[1] in the main text, although 1st or 2nd person perspective can work well for case studies or feature boxes
  2. Layout
    1. The chapter is well structured, with major sections using sub-sections
  3. Grammar
    1. The grammar for some sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags)
      1. Consider using a grammar checking tool
      2. Another option is to use a services provided by UC, such as Studiosity
      3. Another option is to share draft work with peers and ask for their assistance
  4. Spelling
    1. Use Australian spelling (e.g., hypothesize vs. hypothesise; behavior vs. behaviour)
  5. APA style
    1. Use sentence casing for the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc.
    2. Figures
      1. Very well captioned
      2. Use this format for captions: Figure X. Descriptive caption goes here in sentence casing. See example.
      3. Refer to each Figure at least once within the main text (e.g., "(see Figure 1)")
    3. Citations use excellent APA style (7th ed.)
    4. References use very good APA style:
      1. Check and correct use of italicisation
  1. Good use of learning features
  2. Reasonably good use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding more interwiki links for the first mention of key words and technical concepts would make the text even more interactive. See example.
  3. No use of embedded in-text links to related book chapters. Embedding in-text links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
  4. Good use of figure(s)
  5. No use of table(s)
  6. Reasonably good use of feature box(es)
  7. Good use of scenarios, case studies, or examples
  8. Good use of quiz(zes) and/or reflection question(s)
  9. The quiz questions could be more effective as learning prompts by being embedded as single questions within each corresponding section rather than as a set of questions at the end
  10. Good use of interwiki links in the "See also" section
    1. Add more links
  11. Very good use of external links in the "External links" section
  1. ~5 logged, useful, mostly moderate contributions with direct links to evidence
